Shows the greatness of teamwork. For the lack of a better word, these players were average but when combined, they produce miracles.
Yup, the average quality players could be dangerous for team event. So the major upset of R/16 is Wang Yihan lost to home hope Sayaka Takahashi.

oh no. What an amzing bad line-up for tv-coverage. come on. Whoever decides this, suprises me quite often :/ LXR vs CM and KT vs. HKV is reasonable, but MX, WD and MD are very boring. I m sure the majority of the badminton commuity is not really interested in these matches cmpared to other line-ups (MX one sided, WD two Jap pairs only defending for 90 min xdd and a MD where they only serve and return)... SAD imo They really leave JOJ vs LD out?

Mr.Epic, can't thank you enough for the links to the above videos and ,of course, much credit goes to the youtube uploaders.
Sadly, Wang Yihan is still plagued by an 'old illness' - acting up once in a blue moon. (Not at all implying that Sayaka T is an easy opponent for her).
[video=youtube;2rndNAFeKUM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rndNAFeKUM&list=UU5ce2gXhS7ZqbDGrBGNJBEQ[/video] good quality clips with more to come in the next few days. also some full games from previous year. 3/4 view - good camera angle
Yeah, WYH is not as consistent as LXR, but she is very interesting to watch. [To Marin, please win today, I'm sick of watching LXR vs Tai or SJH] In the other hand, Sayaka T. has a great skill. IMO, if she can cut down her error, she will be in top 5. Sometimes, she scores a lots for herself but much more for her opponent.
Where can I watch the video online? Youtube live streaming is blocked in India and all the other sites suggested here do not seem to work. Proxflow doesn't work as well. (A Caveat- I live in an institution wherein I access internet using a proxy server)
